I began hrt at 48, but still lived as a guy for 2-3 years after I started. It wasn't until after the covid lock down that I was comfortable enough to socially transition in public. I thought that is be hideous, but I turned out ok & am finally comfortable in my own skin. DM if you want to chat.

I spent almost 50 years as a short, "not conventionally attractive" guy. Trust me when I say, it wasn't the end of the world. I dated, married, and was treated like any other guy. You'd be surprised how powerful T is (and how much better you'll feel on it). It's not too late to start.

Same energy.

After watching Morrissey, John Lydon, and others reveal themselves to be true shitheels, this was very gratifying to see.

My condolences.

I'm glad that I ignored this. I'm constantly short spatulas as it is.

My condolences.

Lol!

That is a parody account. Read some of his other posts.

That federal employee? Albert Einstein.

It's about the right length for a good abstract of an actual manifesto.

I've been getting those things all day.

The thing is, to change your password, they send you a verification request. I'm afraid to authorize it because I don't know if I'm authorizing myself or the random person trying to get into my account.
